Mask from bags under the eyes

Bags under the eyes - perhaps the most unpleasant and at the same time often occurring phenomenon. It is rather difficult to hide them with the help of makeup, besides you may need the services of an experienced makeup artist, and such methods will help only for a while. Meanwhile, such edema can be the result of serious illness. Fortunately, today we can easily understand what provokes the formation of "bags", and what means are considered the most effective in combating them.

As a rule, the main problem leading to the formation of bags under the eyes is violation of water-salt balance. The turgor and elasticity of the skin change, which is why it is no longer able to keep the basal fiber in normal concentration. This is especially true for the area around the eyes, because the skin is very thin and sensitive, muscles and sebaceous glands are almost absent.

Many people know that our body is almost 60% liquid. It is not surprising that there are specific features and biological processes that support its normal distribution throughout the body. It is the combination of these factors called the water balance, which must be at a certain level in the cells and intercellular space. Violation of this balance leads to either dehydration, and then we can notice an increased dryness and lethargy of the skin, or a glut of fluid, which is just swelling.

The following factors can cause swelling under the eyes:

• Chronic lack of sleep. Many people know that the appearance of “bags” is a sign of deep exhaustion and lack of proper sleep. In such situations, it is usually enough to postpone work and devote a few days to rest;
• Excessive emotional stress, stress, extreme situations and psychosis. They can not only disrupt sleep, but also by themselves provoke changes in water-salt balance;
• Power failure. Especially junk food is all smoked, spicy and salty. A high salt content in the diet is generally the worst enemy of normal water balance and very quickly leads to swelling not only around the eyes;
• Inconvenient posture during sleep may interfere with the normal flow of fluid and lead to excessive accumulation. Bags under the eyes are often the result of sleeping in the prone position;
• Use of expired cosmetics or low quality products. Another reason to refuse to save on health. The skin around the eyes is the most sensitive, therefore any influence of harmful substances is reflected on it instantly;
• Alcohol abuse;
